Under Format -> Data Label -> click fx -> Format by = Color Scale, Based on Field = .YOY_Violent_CrimeRate% , Minimum = 5B8F22 with a value of 0.00001 , Maximum = FF0000 with a value of 0 , Text Size = 28 pt , Font = DIN (default)
Under Format -> Category -> Set it to ON -> Color = 000000 , Text Size = 15 pt , Font = Segoe UI
Under Format -> Title -> Set it to OFF
Under Format -> Background -> Set it to ON , Color = E6E6E6Under Format -> Border -> Set it to ON , Color = 666666
Step 5: Create Year Over Year (YOY) Major Crime Rate Card

Under Format -> General: X Position = 1 , Y Position = 791 , Width = 225 , Height = 160
Under Format -> Data Label -> click fx
-> Format by = Color Scale, Based on Field =
.YOY_Major_CrimeRate% , Minimum = 5B8F22 with a value of 0.00001 ,
Maximum = FF0000 with a value of 0 , Text Size = 28 pt , Font = DIN
(default)
Under Format -> Category -> Set it to ON -> Color = 000000 , Text Size = 15 pt , Font = Segoe UI
Under Format -> Title -> Set it to OFF
Under Format -> Background -> Set it to ON , Color = E6E6E6Under Format -> Border -> Set it to ON , Color = 666666
Step 6: Create Year Slicer
Visualizations
